Antique manicure tool set - Sri Lanka

Posted by Rashantha Devanesan on April 23, 2014 at 6:39pm

This was probably a set of minute tools for applying lime paste to betel leaves, it also has some items that look like manicure tools. It was worn on the belt which held up the cloth "Sarong" worn usually by men. I have strung it with jasper and silver.
